Rishikesh Taxi Rates – Taxi Fare in Rishikesh

In my last post on transport services in Rishikesh, I talked about the local Bus services from Rishikesh to other cities in and out of Uttarakhand. Continuing on the same note, in this post, I will talk about Rishikesh Taxi Rates. The information below includes places that you can rent a taxi for from Rishikesh and the total fare you would pay for it.

There are three different types of cabs that you can choose from and the rates are different for all of them. First is the hatchback class which mostly is either an Alto or Toyota Etios. Second is the Sedan Class including taxis like Swift Dzire. The third is the SUV Class which usually is either a Sumo or a Bolero. You can rent luxury SUVs like Innova as well but they will cost slightly more than a Sumo or Bolero. Other cars like Scorpio and Safari too can be arranged on request. If you were looking for a high-end car like Fortuner, Mercedes, BMW etc, you would have to contact a local tour operator and work with them to arrange that.

Please note that taxi rates in Rishikesh are not bound by any set union as such. Different operators charge their own respective fares but they are all more or less around the same approximate figure. So the final amount of money that you will pay for a cab will depend on the operator, car you chose, condition of the car you chose and how well were you able to negotiate.

Rishikesh Taxi Rates

All the rates below are in Indian Rupees.

Gangotri is a little ahead of Harsil so the total taxi fare from Rishikesh to Gangotri will come to be the same.

Rishikesh to Yamunotri Taxi Fare will also be between Rs. 5000 – Rs. 6000

Rishikesh Tempo Traveller Rates

If you were in a larger group, then it would be better to rent a Tempo Traveller or a coach rather than multiple taxis. Rates for both will be as mentioned below.

Conclusion

Please do not assume the rates above as final. As I mentioned, these will be different for every operator but you can use these fares as minimum for an total cost estimate. I hope the information above on Rishikesh Taxi Rates was of help.
